    Are you training for strength or vanity... I mean size?

    Holy volume batman.

    Lots of volume and lots of conflicting info...

    Still doing cleans with a back injury? If you can do cleans then you can do light deads or rack pulls.

    I keep looking and just don't know where to start... might want to consider a simpler powerbuilder routine... unless your on gear or 20, then continue... my old ass could not handle that volume.

    Seriously if it is working for you then great... if its not then be specific as to what is lacking, you are hitting everything multiple times so there is nothing really missing.

    Ugh... personal pet peeve... arm days...
    My arms have gone up 3/4" with compound movements.. not one curl or tri extension, just old fashion heavy lifting.

    I do not even know what I could curl....

    You have lots of great movements.. but volume you have to let the muscle heal after you shred it.

    Cutting back to 3 days has been the best thing for me... I am hurting after the workout but by the time I am back in I am ready to go again.. but you have youth on your side

    Ex. you do back (biceps) and then you hit arms the next day... your curls should be trash if you have worked your back hard enough.

    Again, this is me, I think Wildcat and Darkane follow more of the bodybuilder routines, where I am strictly PL right now. So they might have better insight.
